If you’ve been part of the Ride of Love, you know about the patch cyclists receive each time they do that ride. Cyclepaths liked the idea so much, that’s what they’ll be doing with their event jersey. Each year you pedal it, you’ll be awarded a patch and it doesn’t matter which distance you choose! Sew it on the jersey to show how many years you’ve participated to help raise money for Smile-a-Mile.

They would love for you to show how many times you’ve already done their ride since 2015. Just write them to claim at this year’s ride…yep, the only way you can get them is to show up in Monroeville to do the ride and your patches will be waiting. You can contact the directer here.

Cyclepaths is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) bicycle club and all proceeds from their annual CYCLEPATHS CHALLENGE go to charitable organizations. The ride winds through the back roads of Monroe and Conecuh Counties and this year will benefit the children and families of Smile A Mile Our motto is “Until there is a Cure, We will Ride”. Come join us and lets roll. Cyclepaths of Monroe County; Blood, Sweat, and Gears.

MOTELS

Our first Series event kicked off the season in style with support from Monroeville Fire & Rescue, J.T. Johnston Ham Radio Club, and stellar community support at headquarters, on the road, and at rest stops! The Challenge champions Smile-a-Mile in its efforts to provide support to families with children fighting cancer. Each rest stops reminds riders of how they are assisting in these endeavors. Smile-a-Mile’s Savannah Lanier DeRieux spoke to the group before ride start and thanked them for coming.

We were honored to be blessed in a pre-ride prayer by Tommy Gaillard who lost his daughter, Jamie to cancer several years back. Tommy pedaled his century in memory of Jamie yesterday.

Congratulations to Ride Directors Dana & Terry Hornady as well as Planning Committee members Morgan Valvano, Dan Lieber, Jacky Hornady, James Allen Hornady (medic on course) and so many volunteers who made the day possible! The lunch was superb as was the great layout of food during the day!
